Overview

About Crabtree Cottage

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Crabtree Cottage is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Earlswood, Solihull, Solihull (B94 5QA). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (July 2019) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

At 68 m² it sits well below the postcode median (106 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). 2 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Across 2009–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.5% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£396/sq ft) was about 40.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £290,000 in June 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2010.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Crabtree Cottage is modelled from its 68 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in B94 5QA. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for Crabtree Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Crabtree Cottage was lodged in July 2019 at band E and is valid until July 2029. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Crabtree Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 4 schools and 13 stops listed are measured in a straight line from B94 5QA, not by walking route.
Council tax band
Crabtree Cottage is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
